5 weeks to a World Record Relay Swim, Karen Torres, EP 236

When 56 year old Karen Torres, who had not swum a meet in 34 years, was invited to join a relay that was aiming to break a world record she hesitated at first.  But then Karen committed to the 5 weeks of training before the event and was up for the challenge. Hear her story, from the nerve-racking return to the triumph, and how she navigated from pace training to anaerobic swimming, finding her stride once again in the water.

This episode is more than just a tale about breaking records. It's about meeting fears head-on, pushing boundaries, and celebrating the sense of pride that comes from being part of the master swimming world.
